Elements
This element is a mark connecting two points, and can be straight, curved, thick, or thin.
Line
This principle is the distribution of visual weight in a composition and can be symmetrical, asymmetrical, or radial.
Balance
This grip is good for writing but not very good at controlling pressure.
Standard Grip
The lightest areas in a drawing are called ________.
High lights
"Be a part of the production, not a ______."
Visitor
These are two-dimensional enclosed spaces that can be geometric or organic.
Shape
This principle uses differences like light vs. dark or big vs. small to create visual interest.
Contrast
This grip is good for broad strokes and controlling pressure.
Drawing Grip
The darkest areas in a drawing are called ________.
Shadows
"Work _______ so that we are hired on the next job."
Professionally
This element deals with the lightness or darkness of a color or area.
Value
This principle creates a focal point — guiding the viewer’s eye to what’s most important.
Emphasis
This shading style uses lines drawn in the same direction to create a gradient.
Hatching
This is the term for finding and noting light and dark areas before adding final pen strokes.
Value Grouping
You should be one of these to a production's success, not one of its impediments.
Assets
This element describes the surface quality of an object — how it looks or feels.
Texture
This principle is a visual tempo or beat created by repeating elements.
Rhythm
This shading style uses dots, with gradients created by how close or far apart the dots are.
Stippling
Squinting your eyes helps you do this more effectively before you start shading.
See value relationships more clearly
This classroom expectation is about communicating and collaborating well with others.
Communicate Effectively
This element creates the illusion of three dimensions on a flat surface by using volume, depth, and perspective.
Form
This principle makes sure all the elements work together cohesively to avoid a chaotic design.
Unity
This shading style smears material across the page with a finger to create smooth gradients.
Scumbing
This principle of design is about the size relationship between elements and is crucial for realism.
Proportions
This behavior shows respect for deadlines and ensures projects are completed on time.
